Macaroni and Cheese

I'm not a huge Mac-n-Cheese fan, but my husband sure is. Since boxed Mac-n-Cheese are out, I make this one from scratch when I want to make him happy. You can use any IC-Friendly Cheese (like American). I had a bunch of extra Mozzarella so I used that. It wasn't as creamy of a cheese, but still tasted really good... and the hubs was very excited.

Cook pasta in unsalted water about 10 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain well.

Meanwhile, for cheese sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter and stir in onion powder and flour. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add American cheese, stirring until melted. Add Parsley and Salt. Stir in cooked pasta. Transfer mixture to a 1-quart casserole dish.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Makes 4 side dish servings.

My Story

I was recently diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis in October 2010. I'm learning to control my symptoms through diet while trying not to feel deprived from delicious tasting food. At 30, I am learning to cook all over again. These recipes I have found online, in cookbooks, or have figured out myself. I've tested and love them all. I hope these recipes will help someone else who is newly diagnosed, confused, and overwhelmed about what they can eat like I was.
